Two new Master's degree specializations are on offer from the start of the new academic year. One will provide training in general medicine, the other in the management and economics of sustainable development. Other pedagogical innovations in existing course programs are also proposed, including a course designed to train block students in the challenges of Artificial Intelligence and develop their critical thinking skills to use AI in a relevant way. Through these innovations and new features, UNamur is demonstrating its ability to constantly adapt its educational offering in response to changes in society.

Understanding and combating abnormal protein secretion and combating the envelope of pathogenic bacteria: these are the two focuses of two new UNamur projects selected as part of the 7th FRFS-Welbio call for projects.
